A Sunbury man pleaded guilty yesterday in Delaware County Common Pleas Court to abducting and
raping an Indiana teenager he met in an online chat room.

Scott Cisco, 47, could face up to 14 years in prison. He is scheduled to be sentenced on March
13.

In exchange for pleading guilty, Delaware County prosecutors agreed to drop eight additional
charges of kidnapping and rape.

The plea deal prevents a trial and protects Cisco’s victim, who was 17 at the time, from having
to testify.

“It does save the pain of the victim having to live through it again,” said Traci Whittaker, a
spokeswoman for the Delaware County prosecutor’s office.

Investigators said Cisco drove to Indiana on Oct. 24 to meet the girl, then forced her to come
back to his apartment in Sunbury, where he raped her. The girl escaped and called for help when
Cisco went to work on Oct. 25. He turned himself in to police that night.
